Female lead’s Delusion of Starting Over - Chapter 127
Chapter 127: Su Linya: Aunty Will Provide for You
Dinner was a jovial affair for the four of them. Su Linya’s constant smiles throughout the meal seemed to surpass the sum of her smiles over the past few years. Her elated mood made her beauty and kindness shine even brighter, enhancing the warmth of home.
It was utterly beyond understanding how anyone could give up such an outstanding woman like her because of her family background, especially after being pursued by her. It made it seem as though Aunt Su Linya wasn’t even good enough for him.
One could only say that Aunt Su Linya’s family saw things clear and harshly, cutting ties so decisively, as if Aunt Su Linya never existed as their daughter.
Lu Li lounged back in his chair, leisurely digesting his meal, experiencing a unique sensation where no amount of food seemed enough because ‘mom’ felt you hadn’t eaten enough. Aunt Su Linya kept adding more food to his bowl relentlessly.
It was all out of love, and Lu Li forced himself to finish it all.
A faint smile of loneliness appeared on his lips. Love had knocked on his door, and he had his own family love; he had managed to reclaim everything he once lacked.
“Master brother, since we’ve returned, there have been people secretly keeping an eye on our room,” Yu Meng approached and said. Privately, she still addressed Lu Li as ‘master brother,’ not daring to change it without his permission.
Besides, this title had essentially become a little romantic secret between the two of them. Whether it changed or not didn’t really matter anymore.
Today, Yu Meng was officially taken by Big Brother to meet the elders, successfully gaining their approval, and even surpassing Cao Yingying and Chen Xiaoyi.
“It’s okay, it’s just Li Zichuan being overly cautious, sending someone over because I offended those two families as soon as I arrived, worrying about potential troubles,” Lu Li waved it off.
Honestly, he was rather hoping those two families would try something, giving him a more legitimate reason to set an example and prevent any backlash from those clans.
Not that Lu Li was afraid, of course.
So, he wouldn’t reject the kind intentions of Li Zichuan and Aunt Su Linya.
“The little maid’s vigilance is commendable, deserving of a reward!” Lu Li looked at Yu Meng with a smiling gaze. Truly worthy of being the top assassin, a charm against disasters by his side!
And importantly, cute and cuddly, perfect for sleeping with.
A flicker of delight passed through Yu Meng’s eyes as she tiptoed to Lu Li’s side, clutching her skirt hem bashfully. By the way, she had put on that maid outfit again.
It seemed Yu Meng had figured out that her Big Brother had a particular fondness for special costumes.
Thinking about those two women in Hangzhou, only she followed Big Brother to Magic City this time, she was ecstatic.
“By the way, Yingying said she could come over the day after tomorrow. She was planning to come tomorrow, but Xiaoyi has some troublesome matters to deal with, so they thought it best to handle everything before coming together.”
Just as Yu Meng was basking in happiness, Lu Li suddenly spoke, and in an instant, her smug smile froze.
How could it be so soon!
Cao Yingying, didn’t you say your grandfather was a bit crazy these days and needed persuading? How did you manage in just a day? And Chen Xiaoyi, why the rush!
Hope it’s not just to hurry over to Magic City without properly handling your tasks!
“Lu Brother, actually, I’ve prepared some other clothes, like a cherry blossom schoolgirl swimsuit, do you like it?” Instead of complaining, why not seize the moment? The exclusive time is too short; cherish the present!
Once those two women arrive, she won’t be as happy.
A cherry blossom schoolgirl… swimsuit??!
Lu Li was taken aback. Was this the legendary…?
Damn, was he being completely manipulated by Yu Meng?!
That kind of outfit wasn’t cooling at all, wrapped up tight, not as refreshing as some outfits, but… that tightness… cough cough!
Anyway, who hasn’t fantasized before!
“Cough cough, go change into it. Since you’ve prepared it, I can’t let your efforts go to waste.” Lu Li straightened his back, his face the picture of a handsome, upright gentleman.
“Hehe, Master Brother, wait a moment.” Yu Meng fully understood Lu Li’s pretense of modesty.
And Lu Li understood Yu Meng’s mischievous intentions.
Right, it was Lu Li’s pretense of modesty, Yu Meng’s scheming, nothing wrong with that. How could Lu Li possibly be scheming? Impossible, absolutely impossible.
It was obvious Yu Meng was trying various ways to tempt Lu Li.
Look at how considerate Yu Meng is, knowing Lu Li’s little thoughts. She doesn’t speak, just shows it directly. Truly a good sister to her brother!
But when Yu Meng walked in with her white socked feet, head down, face flushed, the shy beauty made Lu Li’s eyes light up. What’s a gentleman’s demeanor again???
Yu Meng was naturally petite, and with this outfit, there was no sense of discordance at all.
Maybe it’s worth considering having Cao Yingying and Chen Xiaoyi try it on sometime.
After all, they’re tall, maybe they could bring out a different kind of emotion!
Not sure if you dare to stir emotions, but Lu Li was truly moved! Really moved!!
***
The next day, as planned, he went to view houses with Aunt Su. Instead, the aunt took Lu Li directly to a manor near the Li family estate. This place once belonged to a small family, but after they went bankrupt and couldn’t afford to keep the house, and with no buyers, it was put up for sale.
“Although the omen here isn’t great, it’s still a manor. In the entirety of Magic City, you won’t find another unoccupied one. Building a new one would take too much time,” Su Linya said, frowning. If possible, she didn’t want Lu Li living here, considering it was a manor of a bankrupted family.
Most people would be quite averse to that.
Lu Li smiled, “What’s with good or bad omens? I don’t believe in that. This place is great, and it’ll be convenient to visit you, Auntie.”
Lu Li had faced tougher challenges. What’s so fearful about so-called feng shui?
He’s taken down big corporations before; merely a bankruptcy wouldn’t scare him. He makes others go bankrupt.
“As long as you don’t mind, Xiao Li,” Su Linya smiled gently.
“Auntie, let’s call the agent then! I’ll buy it, no need to look further.” Lu Li initially thought of getting a small villa, but Aunt Su went straight for a manor.
The manor was nice, just a bit of tidying up and it would be a great place. Lu Li was quite satisfied.
“Agent? What agent?” Su Linya chuckled, “I’ve already bought this place, Xiao Li. I’ll just transfer it directly to you. The agency fee is expensive; we shouldn’t waste that money.”
Lu Li froze, his eyes widening, “Auntie, you’ve already bought it?”
And by the sounds of it, she intended to give it to him!
Su Linya, with just one glance, understood Lu Li’s expression and smiled, gently ruffling his hair, “Keep your money to yourself. I’m spending that dog of a man’s money, might as well not waste it. After coming to Magic City, that guy surely said he wanted to treat me well and gave me a lot of money. I didn’t care about it. If it can help Xiao Li, then it’s worth spending.”
“Don’t you dare refuse!” She glared fiercely at Lu Li, wanting to do some motherly things once in a while.
“Uh…” Lu Li twitched, suddenly feeling like he was being kept as a pretty boy by his aunt.
I’m supporting you with my husband’s money, huh!
